Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify and increase a professional services contract (EL007349) with Resource International, Inc. (RII) for the Tier I Delineation begun in 2007. The Fleet Management Division discovered a leak in an underground fuel line at the Short Street fuel facility in December 2005. The State of Ohio Bureau of Underground Storage Tank Regulations (BUSTR) required a Tier I Evaluation of the entire fuel island site.
Following an informal bid process, the Fleet Management Division entered into a contract with Resource International, Inc. (RII) for the evaluation, which was completed in December 2006.
